Have you been in networking groups without success? Do you have a hard time getting and receiving referrals? More often than not, the issue is motivation and reward. Our group is made up of people that are willing to pay referral or finder's fees. It can be as little as a Starbucks card for a referral to a percentage of first year income for a sale. I have been doing this for years and have many happy referral partners.
